That unfortunately is not how I choose it to be - it is the very circular nature of juristic reasoning in the classical tradition where the appeal to authority is self-evidently the basis of much juristic thought since the idea of a legal methodology and juristic personality are incredibly intertwined. Of course I have given the names but those names are only a reference point - indeed a starting point for you to go and read about their views on this issue which are abundantly available.

There are some legitimate types of appeals to authorities , like quoting Imam Ibn Qudama ra on Hanbali rulings is a legitimate appeal to authority as it is well known that Ibn Qudama ra is an authority on Habali Madhab. Your appeals are fallacies because Qardawi has never been accepted as an authority on Islam and he is a much controversial figure. It is obvious that you are just quoting him to add a weight to your stance.The nature of juristic reasoning is not so circular in Islam. You can quote the valid muthamad authorities in madhahibs to justify a ruling or you can quote a hadith for that. Fortunately in the case of Music , none of them is with you.
